A few considerations about this doc

This Quarto document serves as a practical illustration of the concepts covered in the productive workflow online course

1 Introduction

This document offers a straightforward analysis of the well-known penguin dataset. It is designed to complement the Productive R Workflow online course.

You can read more about the penguin dataset here.

Let’s load libraries before we start!

Show the code

library(tidyverse)
library(hrbrthemes)    # ipsum theme for ggplot2 charts
library(patchwork)     # combine charts together

1.1 Loading data

The dataset has already been loaded and cleaned in the previous step of this pipeline.

Let’s load the clean version, together with a few functions available in functions.R.

Show the code

# Source functions
source(file = "functions.R")

# Read the clean dataset
data <- readRDS(file = "../data/data_clean.rds")

Appraising penguins’ bill length and depth

1.2 Bill Length and Bill Depth

Now, let’s make some descriptive analysis, including summary statistics and graphs.

What’s striking is the slightly negative relationship between bill length and bill depth:

\[{\displaystyle Avg={\frac {1}{n}}\sum _{i=1}^{n}a_{i}={\frac {a_{1}+a_{2}+\cdots +a_{n}}{n}}}\]

Show the code

library(hrbrthemes)

palmerpenguins::penguins |> 
  filter(!is.na(sex)) |> 
  ggplot(
    aes(x = bill_length_mm, y = bill_depth_mm)
  ) +
    geom_point(color = "#69b3a2") +
    labs(
      x = "Bill Length (mm)",
      y = "Bill Depth (mm)",
      title = paste("Surprising relationship?")
    ) + 
  theme_ipsum()

Relationship between bill **length** and bill **depth**. **All** data points included.

It is also interesting to note that bill length a and bill depth are quite different from one specie to another. This is summarized in the 2 tables below:

Show the code

data  |> 
 group_by(species)  |>  
  summarise(average_bill_length = mean(bill_length_mm, na.rm = TRUE))
data  |> 
 group_by(species) |> 
  summarise(average_bill_depth = mean(bill_depth_mm, na.rm = TRUE))

# A tibble: 3 × 2
  species   average_bill_length
  <chr>                   <dbl>
1 Adelie                   38.8
2 Chinstrap                48.8
3 Gentoo                   47.5

# A tibble: 3 × 2
  species   average_bill_depth
  <chr>                  <dbl>
1 Adelie                  18.3
2 Chinstrap               18.4
3 Gentoo                  15.0

The three plots are not displayed correctly unlike the author’s rendition

Now, let’s check the relationship between bill depth and bill length for the specie Adelie on the island Torgersen:

Show the code

# Use the function in functions.R
p1 <- create_scatterplot(data, "Adelie", "Torgersen")
p2 <- create_scatterplot(data, "Chinstrap", "Biscoe")
p3 <- create_scatterplot(data, "Gentoo", "Dream")

(p1 + p2) / p3

1.2.1 Displaying penguins data as a DT table

Show the code

library(palmerpenguins)
library(tidyverse)
library(DT)

data_clean <- readRDS("~/Documents/R-books/productive-r-workflow/data/data_clean.rds")

datatable(data_clean, filter = "top")

1.2.2

Lesson # 2 exercise: making penguins plot interactive

Show the code

library(tidyverse)
library(plotly)


library(hrbrthemes)

penguins <- palmerpenguins::penguins |> 
  filter(!is.na(sex)) |> 
  ggplot(
    aes(x = bill_length_mm, y = bill_depth_mm)
  ) +
    geom_point(color = "#69b3a2") +
    labs(
      x = "Bill Length (mm)",
      y = "Bill Depth (mm)",
      title = paste("Surprising relationship?")
    ) + 
  theme_ipsum()

ggplotly(penguins)

Using a kable table

Show the code

library(tidyverse)
library(knitr)
library(palmerpenguins)


bill_length_per_specie <- palmerpenguins::penguins |> 
 group_by(species)  |>  
  summarise(average_bill_length = mean(bill_length_mm, na.rm = TRUE))

kable(bill_length_per_specie)

species	average_bill_length
Adelie	38.79139
Chinstrap	48.83382
Gentoo	47.50488

Show the code

bill_depth_per_specie <- palmerpenguins::penguins  |> 
 group_by(species)  |>  
  summarise(average_bill_depth = mean(bill_depth_mm, na.rm = TRUE))

kable(bill_depth_per_specie)

species	average_bill_depth
Adelie	18.34636
Chinstrap	18.42059
Gentoo	14.98211

Show the code

bill_length_adelie <- bill_length_per_specie  |> 
  filter(species == "Adelie")  |> 
  pull(average_bill_length)  |> 
  round(2)

For instance, the average bill length for the specie Adelie is 38.79.
